This is a photograph I was very pleased with, taken on a visit to the @belmond Villa San Michele in Fiesole, outside Florence. The visit resonates for a number of reasons. #galleryofthepeople @SirWilliamD

Why haven’t we seen a single tractor in central London protesting against the US president leveraging a tech deal to force the UK to reduce food standards to sell us low-quality cheap food imports?

It’s only a ‘make or break’ budget because some media have, in their breathless hysteria, made it so. In a sober, calm country, it would simply be the second budget of a 5 year government after 15 years of clown show. I may not like it all, but some perspective would be welcome.

The eminent cosmologist and humanist, Carl Sagan, writing in 1995:
ALT I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.

To understand how broken UK news is watch how @SkyNews makes no mention of the forensic take down & humiliation of Farage from Senator Jamie Ruskin but amplifies Farage's ( an actual Far Right authoritarian ) pretence that he's in Washington to save UK from authoritarianism 😵💫
"I come from the land of Magna Carta... so it doesn't give me any great joy to be sitting in America and describing the really awful, authoritarian situation that we have now sunk into."

Trump is mocking Zelensky because he used to be a comedian, meanwhile Trump:

A sickening vision of the future, from a few years back on #Avenue5. May this never come to pass. youtu.be/2k_95UOQDr0?si=KhTi…

The single most important article yet published on Trump's second term, by two scholars who since 2016 have been consistently correct in anticipating Trump's effect on our political system. Everyone should read it.

where did this dangerous insanity come from? 1) the romance of disruption, Bannon's warmed over 19th c anarcho- libertarianism , 2 ) tech- oligarchy's self- rapture ( Thiel) that its $$ was a divine proof it should rule since the Little People too blindly stupid to rule themselves 3) the perfect useful idiot to front for them, puffed up on cartoon strip history ( the GREAT McKinley) a carnival barker for their plan of action - but ultimately 1 ) and 2) will be at each others' throats and the roof will fall in on both of them as the buffoon's hubris will take them down

Nothing trickled down.
Not to workers.
Not to consumers.
Nothing will ever trickle down.

Most dangerous thing for country about Trump coin is what comes next. Now anyone in world can essentially deposit money into bank account of President of USA with a couple clicks. Every favor - geopolitical, corporate or personal - is now on sale, right out in the open.

Brexit means Brexit and the mere suggestion of a second referendum has people foaming at the mouth
But yet our democratically elected PM should step down after 6 months because some bigots signed a petition & a megalomaniac billionaire in the US doesn’t like him?
Strange world

This is the best illustration of the obscene wealth of Elon Musk that I’ve seen.
Look how much rice he’s got!
We don’t have to organise our world like this.

Get ready for four years of rambling and outrageous lies.
But don't let the absurdity distract you from the real goal of Trump 2.0: the continued consolidation of wealth & power into the hands of oligarchs.
They want you to be so outraged that you tune out. Do not.
Paging @Masterman @nomadicrevery & Ellis James. #maddads

This is the AFD - of which Elon Musk says “only the AFD can save Germany” 👇
When are people going to wake up to direction in which Musk is pushing things? @RestIsPolitics
